    I refuse to believe that Whiteside is injured too...can't happen

    and CJ is a dumb ball-hog way too often

    also: Chris Paul looks kind of over the hill...way over

    Chucker McCollum is driving me bananas. Finally Tolliver is hitting his shots, he hits a few, then is forgotten. Typical Blazer MO.

    We are actually shooting 42 percent from the 3 and there shooting 14 percent that might be our highlight for that half.

    They ran a few pick and rolls with Daem and Tolliver. Got Dame switched onto Gallinari. Dame couldn't do anything with it with Whiteside clogging the lane. They need to run the pick and roll with Whiteside or he's a liability on offense.

    Oh and Ant makes a nice play on defense, dribbles the ball full court, makes a great pass to Chucker (for a made three), then is taken out of the game. Just as usual for Stotts.

    No, but a shoulder dislocation (first time) is going to be at least 3 weeks to 2 months. And the fact that they need a second opinion on the MRI doesn't bode well.

    Are we getting out-rebounded more this year? That used to be a strength, but it doesn't feel like it so much this year so far.

    He's going to be out a while. I don't see how he couldn't be.

    Not so fast.

    Team with the lower 3p% in first half is the single greatest statistical indicator for who ultimately wins.

    The refs have been Chris Paul's life support for a few years now.

    Is it? I can't tell if you're being sarcastic.

    I hope so. We just don’t look that good this year even though I really think we are getting better with this roster construction

    Yeah, they did run it with Tolliver. It got the switch. Dame is having trouble driving the lane when Whiteside and his man are also clogging the lane. They need to run it with Tolliver at center and Whiteside out of the game.

    We are not solid in that area this year. We give up to many 2 chance points especially when the 2 unit comes in.

    If a guy like Tolliver, or anyone for that matter, is hot from 3, can we please try to get him the ball, set a screen for him, anything? The role players are always forgotten after a few made shots if they can't create off the dribble.

    CJ is going to have a nice second half.
